NEWTON -- The Great Clambake will be held Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m., at the Newton Moose Lodge, featuring a buffet of raw clams all day, steamed clams, shrimp, barbecue chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, salad, "Famous Moose Clam Chowder," corn on the cob, cold keg beer and desert. It's all included in the $45 donation, to benefit Moose Lodge 432. There will be a cash bar, 50/50 and more.

Long known for their original songs, the band is in the middle of breaking out even more originals, both newly written and older songs never finished.

"The fun lies in the evolution of a new song. We all get to bend and twist the words and music without rules or limits," said Tom Gomez.

"Confidence and passion are very key when you play alot of your own music, you still have to play to and for the people listening, when they are all dancing and singing our songs, R.E.N.O. is living a dream," Gomez added.

The band will have their good friend and fellow musician who has given back to the community for dozens of years, Jeff Gaynor, playing electric guitar on Saturday.
